Ireland saw Robbie Henshaw ruled out of the Six Nations after a shoulder injury picked up in their victory over Italy, while French players were spoken to by police after an alleged incident last night.

In club matters, Wasps have confirmed that Danny Cipriani will leave the club at the end of the season with Lima Sopoaga due to join for the start of 2018/19.
